Upgrade Beyond Rampage

"It's no wonder. I asked them why their business has become so bleak, and they still don't lower the price. It turns out that the materials are so expensive, and they will suffer a big loss if they lower the price."

"I used to think that the store in Xifu wanted to take a high-end route, so the items were so expensive. But I didn't expect that it wasn't the case. It turned out to be a problem with the materials."

"It shouldn't be. After all, Xifu is the master of the Western Region. Who dares to sell the same materials to Xifu at several times the price? Isn't this looking for death?"

"Maybe...this is the trick."

"Shh, do you want your life? Don't talk nonsense until the truth is clear."

"No wonder, no wonder Master Tang Yi keeps asking if he has anything to say. It turns out that he already knew..."

"..."

After hearing Li Xiuman's words, everyone started talking, and everyone smelled something fishy from this matter.

Everyone suddenly realized this. No wonder Tang Yi kept asking questions just now. It turned out that he knew something a long time ago, so he interrogated Lu Zhiming and others again and again!

At this time, Tang Yi asked again: "Does Shopkeeper Li know why the price of the materials we get from Xifu is so high?"

"That's because Palace Master Lu conspired with others to buy other people's ordinary materials at high prices to make profits!" Upon hearing this, shopkeeper Li Xiuman turned his head and angrily scolded Lu Zhiming.

Now that he has Tang Yi's support, he doesn't care who he offends or not, let alone the consequences of exposing this matter.

In short, he wants to expose this matter, restore the Jingwei City branch to its original state, and make the shops in Xifu make a lot of money every day. This is the life he wants, not like a walking zombie every day. , dealing with Tori half-dead!

"Nonsense! Mr. Tang Yi, you must not believe Li Xiuman's words, and none of my subordinates!" Lu Zhiming defended excitedly.

"Oh? You want me not to listen to him? Well, Lord Lu, let me ask you why the price of forging materials is so high. Please explain this to me!" Tang Yi sneered.

"That's because, that's because..."

Lu Zhiming thought about it for a long time, seeming to be thinking about the reason, and finally said: "That's because the materials we use in Xifu are all high-quality materials, so the price is so expensive."

"Good materials? Haha, do you think I, Tang Yi, am a stupid young man who doesn't know how to forge? It's really a big joke. Everyone, tell Mr. Lu, what is my forging level?" Tang Yi sneered, and then asked He said to the onlookers around him.

The crowd who had just watched had seen Tang Yi's forging skills.

Of course, let's not talk about Tang Yi's understanding of forging. Even if he didn't understand, how could he be deceived by Lu Zhiming's nonsense?

How many times more expensive are good materials than others? The same material, no matter how good it is, how much better can it be?

Only a fool would believe what Lu Zhiming said!

"Master Lu, Master Tang Yi is a master-level blacksmith. He knows very well about the quality and price of materials. This cannot deceive Master Tang Yi."

"My lord's forging skills are so exquisite. I am sure I know the materials better than you do, Lord Lu. If you want to use good materials to deceive Lord Tang Yi, I'm afraid this won't work."

"Master Lu, you should honestly tell Master Tang Yi why the materials are so expensive. Maybe Master Tang Yi can fall in love with you again. If not..."

"The best materials can be sold for several times the price. Don't say you don't believe it. Even people who don't know how to forge won't believe it even if they think about it. Master Lu, stop lying and tell the truth."

"..."

After hearing Tang Yi's words, everyone said one after another.

Everyone can see at this moment that Tang Yi is looking for trouble with Lu Zhiming. Lu Zhiming is bound to suffer. At this time, who is still afraid of Lu Zhiming? Stomp on him if you can, knock him off the altar if you can!

In short, no one will care about Lu Zhiming's identity as the master of the branch palace, let alone his strength. The most powerful person at the moment, the biggest person, is Tang Yi. Everyone only acts based on Tang Yi's face!

"Have Master Lu heard this? What else do you have to say?" Tang Yi sneered.

"I……"

Lu Zhiming couldn't help but couldn't make any excuses. Under the proof of the facts, all the excuses were useless. He had no excuse for why the materials were so expensive!

Because in fact, it was indeed him who had tampered with it!

"Since you have nothing to say, then shut up!" Tang Yi shouted with a straight face.

This loud shout made Lu Zhiming shake and tremble all over.

At the same time, the people from Jingqi City branch office and twenty-six aristocratic families who were kneeling below were shaken and trembling.

Not to mention these guilty-minded people, even the onlookers who were not guilty were frightened by Tang Yi's loud shout.

"Shopkeeper Li, keep talking." After scolding Lu Zhiming, Tang Yi said to Li Xiuman again.

"yes!"

Shopkeeper Li Xiuman clasped his fists and continued: "As far as my subordinates know, Mr. Lu controls the purchase channels of forging materials, so when purchasing such expensive forging materials, Mr. Lu must be obstructing it."

"In addition, this purchasing channel does not seem to be one of the well-known channels in Jingwei City, but a mysterious channel that Mr. Lu found from nowhere. The origin of this channel is mysterious, and the forging materials are also sourced from unknown sources. , Anyway, except Mr. Lu and the people in charge of procurement, no one knows their origins, and no one knows what force they belong to. "

Hearing this, Tang Yi looked at the people in the Jingji City branch who were kneeling below and asked, "Can the person responsible for purchasing forging materials be present?"

Tang Yi said and scanned the audience again, but no one answered.

"Huh? I wonder if the person responsible for purchasing forging materials can be on site?"

Seeing that no one responded, Tang Yi asked again. This time, he used an extremely stern tone.

After hearing Tang Yi's question, someone finally raised his hand tremblingly and whispered: "Subordinate, I am here, I am the person in charge of purchasing forging materials."

"Is that you?"

Tang Yi glanced at the man and ordered: "Tell me, which force is the person who provides us with forging materials in Xifu?"

"I...I don't know."

The purchaser hesitated for a long time and finally answered.

"Hmph! Is it unclear or not?" Tang Yi snorted coldly and asked.

"I... my subordinates... really don't know." The person in charge of purchasing forging materials said again.

But looking at his look, with a panicked expression and evasive eyes, it was obvious that he knew something, but he just hesitated to say it.
